is to be applied to this rumor.
Would it be fair to assume that the Handheld portion would get a boost in performance when docked for home console use? I could see it helping with the cost of the screen if need be. Where it could run games at say slightly sub 720p on the Screen but when docked the performance boost would allow for better resolutions and graphic performance?

I want them to focus on a new experience/platform, bc would hold them back, like it held back WiiU.
Two full sized controllers does make sense if Nintendo wants this to be a 'community' sort of device. You won't be playing Smash Bros off the image he posted.Two full-sized controllers attached to a handheld would be the dumbest thing ever. I think Tom is just bad at explaining because the picture he showed completely contradicts his explanation.

There's a marketing effect where essentially your last product's sales will tank when the new one is announced. There is even a term (that I can't remember right now). Considering this is in both their segments, I think that it makes sense.
If all I want is new F-Zero and Metroid Prime games, I am not sure if this is good news.
Starting fresh is for the best if they were going x86. Instead they're opting to use the Tegra.
So basically we have 5% of the needed information to form an educated opinion.
Honestly it is hard to do, and if this thing is getting X2s its pointless, and if it is getting any of Nvidias advancements over the last few years its really pointless.Does anyone have any legit technical insight into how the X1 would compare to the WiiU?

An absolutely central point of good VR is exact positional tracking of the headset and controllers. Unless the "dock" serves double duty as a high-refresh camera -- and I hardly think that Nintendo is looking to make this thing even more expensive -- there's not going to be any VR use case for this.
I've posted about that 3 times already in this thread, but let's go again.Does anyone have any legit technical insight into how the X1 would compare to the WiiU?

Ok, updated the concept.
The picture makes it look like the bottom half of a 3DS. I wouldn't worry about it. Considering this is meant to actually be portable (unlike the Wii U GamePad) I think they had portability in mind when designing it.A tablet just seems so big, even if it's Mini sized.

Have you even given it a moment's consideration as to why Nintendo would opt for cartridges for a console like this?
Go ahead. Actually think about it for a moment, lol.
While you're at it, tell me what's wrong with cartridges in this day and age, since you seem to think that cartridges are as limited as they've ever been.
Nintendo might be stuck in the past but this is hardly an example of such.
It seems safe to say that any developer who supported the 3DS - and indies on the Wii U - would be down with this.
I definitely see Nintendo's future being iterative. i.e. From now on, the Nintendo machines will just be a line of updated NXes, like the Apple model.
Nintendo still can't let the cartridge thing go all these years later. Ha, almost amusing how stuck in the past they are. Well, best of luck to them I guess, but it is hilarious they were worried about people copying this.

It will certainly be a lot faster CPU wise, and faster and far more capable (in terms of compute and modern featureset) GPU wise.
Exactly how much faster it will end up being in both of those depends on the exact (likely custom) chip Nintendo ends up with, and how it is clocked in both portable and -- if distinct from that -- docked mode.
how familiar are you with VR really
Cartridges for a handheld is outdated?
LMAO!!!!!!
Ummmmm maybe you're the one who needs a reality check?
Boy, I seriously doubt that.We know Nintendo will be using gyros in the last 2 gen portables.
We know this screen is going to be higher resolution, most likely 1080p at minimum.
This is the big thing.Yeah, this is how I'm reading it. Console mode = When in a dock (so better graphics, performance, more home-console-like features. Hand-held mode = detached and on the go. Lower graphical performance (using the Tegra, so not horrid), limited background features to keep battery performance in a somewhat useful level.
If there is no dock, then it probably just will change performance depending on if it detects a power supply or not.
With your smartphone that will be about as powerful, does more, and will also have a selection of Nintendo titles. I'm understanding the need for this handheld less and less.Nah, too big to be portable. Needs to be 5" or 5,5". More is just overkill and not portable at all. Needs to fit in pocket.
It hardly has a d-pad, though. It can't be perfect because of that. Also, there's no reason why they couldn't have added two Z buttons, one on each side.The N64 controller is admittedly problematic, but you can't call the GameCube controller anything but perfect if you expect to maintain credibility![]()

How would something like Splatoon even work off that? Third parties wouldn't even bother.
I've got a DK2 so quite familiar.

Awesome! Just tinkered with a New 3DS to recreate it as that's what I was sort of envisioning too:
